Why Choose this Training Course?
Why Choose this Online Training Course?
During drilling and workover operations, tubulars tools or equipment are considered stuck when they cannot be freed from the borehole without damaging tools/equipment or systems in use without exceeding permissible maximum allowed loads. Problems associated with stuck pipe can account for a significant proportion of total well’s damage loss and waste. Note: Stuck pipe events that can further escalate to greater ‘well control and lost-circulation events’ particularly in today’s more complex wells.
This PetroKnowledge’s Proactive stuck pipe avoidance online training course is designed to inform and educate attendees to prevent and mitigate stuck pipe problems through assuring industry gained best practice, means and methods are translated and sustained to reduce stuck pipe events.
Primarily to understand all the (Physical (parts) people and paperwork) evident causes to proactively prevent stuck pipe and secondly further assure translated and sustained learning in all future drilling and workover programs. To deliver safe, effective, and efficient wells at maximum outcomes, benefits and well value desired.
What are the Goals?
What are the Goals?
At the end of this Petroknowledge online training course, you will learn to:
- Assure best practise planning, design, engineering, and application of well programs to proactively reduce stuck pipe and associated related problems
- Apply the technical skills to operate wells when problems, difficulties and situations arise
- Develop a multidisciplinary team approach so that trouble free well operations result
- Develop a greater understanding and awareness how stuck problems are manifested, caused, and created e.g. hole cleaning, wellbore instability, differential sticking, other causes, and how they can be proactively prevented, mitigated, and freed
